Maxicortan contains hydrocortisone - a substance from the group of glucocorticosteroids with anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects, which is sometimes added to some preparations for hemorrhoids. However, in Maxicortan cream, this substance is found in a higher concentration and a different formulation, due to which it is not safe to use on the mucous membranes and is not recommended for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
just in the pharmacy there was a message that there are ingredients such as in the treatment of hemorrhage.

Maxicortan should not be used on the mucous membranes, including the mucous membrane (lining the intestine) of the anus. This drug is not intended for the treatment of hemorrhoids. Drugs for use for hemorrhoids can be found in the group here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/preparaty-na-hemoroidy Ointment that is effective in the treatment of hemorrhoidal disease is, for example, Proctosedone. The components of the preparation - hydrocortisone, cinchocaine have an anti-inflammatory, local anesthetic and antipruritic effect. In addition, the antibiotic neomycin contained in the preparation prevents the occurrence of secondary bacterial infections, and esculin strengthens blood vessels, reduces swelling and inhibits bleeding.
